Subject: Peter Gabriel - Solisbury Hill
Does anybody know what Peter Gabriel says/sings in between the first verse and the second verse of Solisbury Hill? I just can't work it out.
Subject: Re: Peter Gabriel - Solisbury Hill

My hearts going Boom boom boom, son, he said, grab your things Ive come to take you home

It's the part that comes right after that and just before the next verse which starts with "to keepin' silence I resigned".
Subject: Re: Peter Gabriel - Solisbury Hill
none of the lyrics sites I checked had any lyrics for in between those lines

Hi G.! This is what I found:
Peter Gabriel---Solsbury Hill
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom-boom-boom
Son, he said, grab your things
I've come to take you home
Eh, don't quit
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Oh, my life was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I'd walk right out of the machinery
My heart going boom-boom-boom
Hey, he said, grab your things
I've come to take you home
Eh, back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty, she'd pirhouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom-boom-boom
Hey, I said, you can keep my things
They've come to take me home
I listened to the song along with those lyrics and sounds correct to me. Hope that helps. :)

Hi Madison
Yeah, that sounds right to me as well. Thanks for that - it's been bugging me for ages. Much appreciated.
